TO ALL WHOM IT CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JAMES H.ROUNDEY, of Oldtown, in the county of Peuobscouend-Stnte of Maine, here invented a, new and useful or improved Ghurn'; and I do hereby declare thatjtho following is vei'ulhcleur, and exact description of the construction und operation of the seme, reference being had to the uccompunying drew iti-gs, making u partei' this specification, in which-V A l r l Figure 1 is u perspective view.

Figure 2 is u'trunsversc section of one of the dashes; und

Figure 3 is u top or plan view, showing the-uction of the dashes.

Similar letters of reference indicutecbrresponding parte in theseveral figures.`

'The nature of my invention consists in e churn foi'uicdrivith a. suitable receptacle for the cream, und pre# vided with txvoulternuting vibrating levers, pivoted neer their centres, and actuated by a. crunk or other suitable i device; also, u vibrating dash nttuched to and pivoted in euch lever Vto uct upon 'the `ereum in such vmanner as.

not only to produce agitation of thesume but to constantly inove'thut nearest the sides of the churn towurd the centre, and vice versa. y I

In the drawings, A represents the body or hull of the churn, a. portion being broken away to show the `interior construction and arrangement. B B `are tu' levers pivoted to the top ofthe churnv at dud'. C C are tufo' connecting-rolls attached' to levers 'B B and4 the two throws ofycrenk D, which latter has its bearings in standards E E secured tothe beck of the churn. b I are the dashes, which muy be of any suitable form. AAs shown, they are two square iemes provided withperforuted slots. These dashes are attached to theloiver 4ends of levers B B loosely, as shown cleztrly iniigs. Zend 3,v the inortisc g, fig. 2,-sl1oiving. the extent of vibra.-

ti'on allowed theidushes, which lutter are pivotod to the levers in such manner that the 'part of the dashes l l between the levers is wider thun that outside. The pins e c serve us the pivot of the upper` part of the'fdushes, und asimilar pin passing up through the lower putt of the dash-freine into levers B scrvesus the pivot of. the lower part of the dashesi l A l n i AIn use, the churn is uctuuted by the crunk-handle a, by revolving which the dashes are moved'bnclc und forth the Vwidth of the ehurn. The action of the dashes when in use is shown in figiftheir directions of move ment being;V indicated by the arrows 1 and 2;? and Athe dashes being pivotedloif their centres, us before described,

causes the `wider part to swing. to the rear, es shown in fig. 3, thus drawing the creatn from the sides of the churn toward the centre undV producing n rotary current, as indicatcdby arrows 3, und 4,'whijch, as 'the dashes are reversed, increases the force of-their cont-uct with the cream. By thus pivoting the dashes nith' a. xvider l und narrower side, and thereby producing currents oblique to the line of movement of the dashes, the cuento is constantly changing positions relativelylto lthe churn, thus securing un equalized Contact of ull its parts und the breaking elect oi' the dashes 'upon the seme, und obviating one of the most serious defectsin all square churns, which, inthe language oi' dairy-women, has been that the cream in the corners was not cimmed.

Hoving` thus described my invention, whntl claim as new, und desire to secure by Letters liutent, isf- 1. The double vibratingdushes b b, when constructed and arranged to operate in manner substantially us and for. the purposes specified. i

2. The arrangement of churn A," the doublevibrutiug dashes 6 b, `und the vibrating levers B B, driven by crunk D, or'its equivalent, all arrungcd to operatein manner substantially us described und shown.
